Laura Belin and original co-host Dennis Hart were together for the 250th edition of "KHOI's Capitol Week." They began with Iowa's 2026 governor's race: Democrat Rob Sand's 100 town halls, Democrat Julie Stauch's "interview sessions," Republican Randy Feenstra's comments on eminent domain, and recent TV interviews featuring the other three GOP candidates (Eddie Andrews, Brad Sherman, and Adam Steen). Other topics covered: what documents Iowans need to vote in next week's local and school elections, the Democratic nominee for an upcoming Iowa Senate special election, Iowans in Congress against extending health insurance subsidies, Governor Kim Reynolds' comments about the state's main public pension system, a review of the state's education licensing process, a legal challenge to a new law on county elections, an Appeals Court ruling on a state immigration law, Attorney General Brenna Bird on birthright citizenship, and news about teachers disciplined or fired over social media posts about Charlie Kirk.
